Mapuche Culture Tour

Delve into the culture and traditions of Pucón's Mapuche community. You'll learn about their customs, rites & dances and even play one of their ancestral sports.

Mapuche Culture Tour

At 2 pm, pickup will be at your hotel in Pucón for a drive to a local Mapuche community near the Villarrica Volcano.

During the community tour, you will learn about the Mapuche people's culture and history by visiting several rucas, or traditional houses. Families will share insights about their worldview, customs, dances, rites, and religious ceremonies.

Participate in activities such as toasting wheat and spinning wool. You will also have the chance to try traditional Mapuche clothing; women often wear a dress called a ñaña, while men wear a huentro.

Next, engage in games of palín and chueca, two traditional Mapuche sports, with explanations of their historical significance.

After exploring the culture and history of Chile's largest indigenous group, we will return to your hotel in Pucón by 6 pm.
